Solution

The correct option is D Cuboidal
In simple cuboidal epithelium the cells are cubical and more or less squarish in shape. The nuclei are rounded and lies in the centre of the cells. The cuboidal epithelium forms the lining of kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands. They provide mechanical support there.
